Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Mu was stunned:

The rate of fire of this gun is so awesome?

Turn to great joy!

Now that's it, my plan is foolproof!

"It's done!"

Zhang Mu laughed loudly.

He points to the north:

"To the northwest of Neihuang City, there is the Dougong River washed by the river, flowing next to the northwest corner of the city wall.

Even a section of the wall foundation that is more than thirty feet long is located on the riverside.

My teacher also wants to explore this place.

The reason why I came to Neihuang is to cooperate with the teacher's actions.

Previously, I personally pretended to be a boatman and traveled up and down the Dougong River. I checked carefully:

Several cracks have appeared in the city wall here, and the largest one can even accommodate a foot wide!

General, think about it, if I let someone wield a hoe to dig out the city wall here, I would be able to get twice the result with half the effort! "

Zhang Luofu was overjoyed:

"What the gentleman said is true. As long as we dig here, the collapsed city wall will fill up the river, which will be very beneficial to our army."

Sir, this is indeed the best policy! "

Zhang Mu said a few words of modesty and continued:

"The only thing to worry about is the garrison at the top of the city.

As long as the general suppresses the soldiers at the top of the city, I can open the road to the city in just a few hours! "

"Please also ask the general to dispatch Fuhan gun shooters to help me!"

Zhang Mu is indeed as he said, he is impatient.

Before Zhang Luofu could trust him, he was about to take away the most powerful Fuhan gun shooter.

Zhang Luofu stared into his eyes, looked at him carefully for a while, and smiled loudly:

"it is good!

Since you have said so, Zhongcheng, if I refuse to agree, wouldn’t I be a coward? "

"Come here!"

Zhang Luofu gave an order:

"Move the small flag of Fuhan Gun to the northeast corner of the city wall and cooperate with Mr. Zhang Muchang!"

Zhang Mu stood up, bent down and saluted Zhang Luofu:

“The country is plagued by disasters, and students are very worried.

This time I take the liberty to say that many students are rude!

Don't worry, general, I have already brought my two sons outside the camp gate.

If Zhang Mu makes a mistake in this battle, he will apologize with the heads of my father and son! "

After Zhang Mu finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Zhang Luofu to speak.

He still wants to mobilize the rebel army!

Zhang Luofu left the camp gate.

Sure enough, two teenage boys, one big and one small, were squatting at the gate of the camp.

Zhang Luofu sighed:

This is a hero!

He stretched out his hand to pick up the two children and looked outside.

Zhang Mu has already reached the rebel group and is talking to people.

Not long after, Zhang Mu didn't know what he said to the rebels, and tens of thousands of rebels cheered and rushed toward the Dougong River.

(Neihuang is now under the jurisdiction of Henan. Are there any local readers? I wonder if the Dougong River in your area is still there now? Around 1800, this river was still there. Of course, where in the city is it, I No record found.)

The range of the muzzle-loading rifled minigun is terrifying.

Especially before modern firearms were changed to smaller calibers, their power was terrifying.

The amount of gunpowder loaded in muskets with a caliber of 20mm or even above is increased exponentially.

The more gunpowder loaded, the more powerful it will be!

In later generations, this thing was included in the definition of "cannon".

Fifty soldiers set up their spears across the Dougong River.

After bursts of gunpowder smoke, the soldiers on the top of the city were beaten to heavy casualties.

After several rounds of volleys, the soldiers who dared to show their heads at the top of the city were all beaten out of holes.

Seeing that the city was suppressed, Zhang Mu rolled up his trouser legs, took a pickaxe with his own hands, and shouted:

"Folks, go!"

After saying that, the scholar was the first to jump into the cold and biting river water.

In early winter, the rivers in the north have begun to freeze.

Every time he moved, the thin ice was stepped on and cracked into pieces.

The biting river water froze the farmer's legs in a short time.

But Zhang Mu, a scholar, cheered the crowd in front and behind, shouting for people to come forward.

"Bang!"

The pickaxe hit the corner of the wall, bringing out a stream of sparks.

He dug out a small piece of the blue bricks of the city wall that was in disrepair and was as big as an egg.

Zhang Mu was a scholar, but he was not strong enough, so the common people achieved much greater results than him.

Some people even stuffed their heads into the cracks and pushed them apart, and most of the bricks were dug out...

"It's not good, it's not good!"

The guards on the city wall shouted:

"The mud-legged fellow is going to dig into the wall!"

"Pour golden juice!"

Dozens of civilians, driven by the government officials, lifted up the boiling excrement water and poured it into their pockets.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

A hail of bullets knocked the outcropping government officials and civilian workers to the ground.

The hot and foul-smelling golden juice spread along the top of the city.

Stinks.

Several yamen servants who were not paying attention were slipped to the ground and immediately jumped up from the heat.

A hail of bullets flashed past, and he was beaten into a sieve on the spot...

……

When the peasants saw this, they dug even more happily!

"Hurry up and stop them!"

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

However, the shouting on the city top was so fierce that no one dared to show their head again.

The Ming army's muskets were really powerful.

The blood flowing at the top of the city told them - the eternal truth that the first bird must die...

"Bang bang bang!"

……

"The first brick has been taken out!"

There was no time for a cup of tea, and with a cheer, the rammed earth city wall protected by blue bricks revealed its soft heart.

As long as the first city brick is taken out, it is not difficult to collapse the city wall.

In the matchlock era, due to the short range, the soldiers could only stand at the base of the wall and shoot the soldiers at the top of the wall. The defenders on the top of the city could also use radium stones and hammered wood to kill the civilians digging the city.

However, when rifled guns appeared on the battlefield...

Because they can be further away from the wall, the Musketeer's field of vision is greatly enhanced.

The increase in field of vision has greatly reduced the enemy's hiding places on the wall.

They were suppressed behind the female wall and did not dare to move!

……

The Ming army's guns were too sharp, and the defenders on the city also found a countermeasure——

Since you will die if you show your head, then don’t show your head!

"Keep your back, hide, and throw rocks at me!"

The yamen servant, who forced the civilian husband to defend, roared.

Following the yamen servant's words, bricks and stones were thrown down!

The defenders at the top of the city hid behind the battlements and threw stones randomly to kill and injure the diggers.

Although it cannot throw more lethal wood, boulders, or gold juice.

However, the stones thrown randomly across the battlements were difficult to aim, but the masonry flying in the sky still caused a lot of casualties to the excavators.

All the time, someone fell to the ground.

Blood dyed the Dougong River red...

……

Zhang Luofu also came to the northwest corner.

Seeing each and every citizen's head broken and bleeding, he shouted:

"Build a wooden frame and build a well gate!"

The well is a siege weapon, usually at the same height as the city wall or higher.

Underneath the well is a row of wheels so that it can move forward, left, and right, and maneuver around the city wall.

With this thing, the soldiers of the attacking side can stand on it and shoot the defenders at the top of the city.

This is the most effective weapon for the attacker to suppress the counterattack of the defenders at the top of the city when attacking a city.

It can be simply understood as a large scaffolding with wheels underneath.
